In the Hindu pantheon, the great mother goddess, Adishakti, is the heavenly wife of Shiva, Lord of All Gods. Whenever Shiva or Adishkti come to Earth in human form, they are fated to marry each other again - but that's no guarantee that all will go smoothly with their courtship. In this story Adishakti comes to Earth as the mountain princess Parvati, who has her work cut out for her when she tries to win the affections of Shiva. Shiva spends all his time meditating on a remote mountainside in the Himalayas and has no interest in marriage. Parvati washes his feet, wipes his brow and lays sixteen offerings before him, but he won't even look at her. Sage, Narada, advises her to invoke Shiva's name - Om Namah Shivaya - over and over again as a mantra. So in the heat of the sun, in the driving rain and up to her neck in snow, Pervati sits and repeats her beloved's name until the focussed power of her intent opens his heart and persuades him to ask for her hand in marriage. Parvati's timeless story teaches children that with enough love and perseverance even the seemingly impossible can be achieved. Accompanied by rich, colour illustrations prepared according to the traditional Hindu canon, How Parvati Won The Heart Of Shiva will transport children to a magical world filled with ancient wisdom.

Beautiful Love Story for All Ages!
11. Oktober 2011
Von Lauren Williams
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I absolultely love this book and think it's perfect for adults or children over 6. Timeless themes of perseverence, wisdom, love and courage. Parvati is born to be Shiva's wife and eternal lover. She comes into the world with this knowledge. When she grows up, she is eager to be joined with her love, but Shiva isn't interested. In fact, he is almost rather annoyed by her because he is focused on his spiritual path and meditation. Parvati undergoes great pain and testing to finally be united with her beloved and it is a powerful tale of patience and dedication that anyone can benefit from reading. The artwork is beautiful as well, you will be glad you got this book!

This is a good book for kids to learn about love and spirituality. The themes are subtle and are well presented. Highly recommended for those new-thinking, open-minded parents.
